Rositch Hemphill Architects

Award-winning Rositch Hemphill Architects have created a number of stunning resort and special residential projects in the Okanagan, the Gulf Islands, and beyond. Their portfolio includes some of BC’s finest resort properties, such as Poet’s Cove on Pender Island, Sundial Boutique Hotel at Whistler, and Summers Landing at Tobiano near Kamloops. Bryce Rositch understands cottage living; his family has had a cottage on Shuswap Lake for more than three decades.

“The great thing about cottages is all the decisions you have to make: should I have my first coffee while catching the morning sun on the deck, or out on the dock watching the birds unfold? And the great thing about being an architect on a project like The Cottages is that I get to design the things that make cottage life so wonderful.

A great deal of care has gone into the master planning to allow for both privacy and a sense of community. The site plan wraps around environmentally sensitive vegetation and shoreline, and keeps it intact. The cottages are grouped in clusters, encouraging intimate neighbourhoods. They encompass an architecture that is simple—and simply classic. They will always look good, over many generations.”
